- Build and maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional stakeholders across multiple organizations to ensure alignment and timely handover.
- Identify and lead process improvement initiatives that optimize the team's efficiency, improve site readiness visibility, and raise the quality bar for launches.
Travel up to 80% domestically; travel intensity can be variable and consist of up to three weeks in a row, including weekends.
